Crews with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) are monitoring roadways and preparing for treatment if weather conditions deteriorate in association with Friday’s winter weather. Re-freezing is expected overnight as temperatures drop. Motorists are urged to continue using extreme caution while traveling especially on bridges, overpasses and ramps where icy road conditions may be present.

Due to inclement weather and the resulting traffic conditions, the Norfolk Admirals have announced that any unused tickets for Friday’s game against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers will be honored for any remaining 2012-13 regular season game played at Norfolk Scope Arena (based upon ticket availability). These unused tickets may only be redeemed at the Norfolk Scope Box Office.

Update from the City of Suffolk:
The exit ramps on Rt. 58 East from Pruden Boulevard (Route 460), as well as Rt. 58 West from Downtown Suffolk are currently closed due to ice. In addition, ice has also closed the on and off ramps at Rt. 58 and Route 10/Godwin Boulevard. Ice is also reported in the 5000 block of Holland Road.

Traffic is still backed up on I-464 after several accidents in the area. NewsChannel 3 is working to keep you updated on the road conditions out there. Remember, if you do not have to be out, please do not travel on the roadways.

JUST UPDATED our snow forecast and lowered the accumulation totals a bit more. We’re getting a lot of dry air gobbling up the falling snow. Now expecting up to two inches on the Eastern Shore, around an inch for the Peninsulas and the Southside, with amounts dropping the farther south and west you go.

WINTRY MIX: Here is a look at what we could primarily see. All of the area could see a bit of everything but expect mainly snow in VA, mainly snow/sleet mix in NE NC (a few areas of freezing rain inland), and mainly rain for the OBX.
